      The copers at r/optimistsunite LOOOOOOOOVE jaw jacking about carbon capture lol. If you mention that only 0.1% of carbon is removed by carbon capture, they immediately bring up muh technological up-scalability. Delusional shit.

        I figured this was coming tbh, the writing has been on the wall quietly, behind the scenes in the US energy industry for a really long time.

        very politically influential US energy firms have been quietly selling off renewables and planning to ramp up gas and weird distributed nuclear for at least the last 6 years. I used to work for one but I left when they ditched renewables.

        renewables got too cheap and China dominated for American capital to be excited about anymore

          Great idea for a community tbh. that's a terrific idea for a communist feeder community to catch libs and funnel them leftwards.

          however nobody deserves to be subjected to "redditors". it's like making people work with asbestos

            Wait that would actually be really fun though. Like a circlejerk where people can jerkpost and repost delusional content
